Eustace is outside in the chicken coop retrieving the newly hatched

chicken eggs. He counts them and puts them in a burlap sack. He

walks towards the farm house.

"Nineteen eggs!" hollers Eustace.

" That's enough eggs to make me a good profit!"

Courage runs up to Eustace and babbles about the new dog bone he got. Eustace

could care less, and smacks Courage in the face with the burlap

sack.

"Now look what you made me do you stupid dog!"

Courage shakes in fear jumps up and down trying to explain.

" My eggs! there all crushed ! I'll crush you too you dumb dog!"

Courage shrieks and runs into the farm house. Eustace chuckles

"That dumb dog always thinks I'm out to get em'!"

Courage runs into the house and goes up to the attic. Digs through

some boxes and finds a sealed box full of bubble bath. He cheers

in excitement and rushes into the bathroom to take bath.

Eustace opens the door

" Muriel, where the heck are ya?"

Eustace opens the closet door and puts his coat on a metal hanger. He slams

the door and it falls off of the hinges.

"Bah! Once I finish doing somethin' there is always more

work to get started on!"

Muriel who is still asleep in bed awakes from the sound

of the door slam and slowly walks down the steps yawing

and stretching. Eustace hides under the sofa as Muriel approaches

the living room.

Muriel: When will that man stop pulling the doors off the hinges!

Eustace cunningly climbs out from under the sofa and grabs Muriel's legs.

Muriel: Ahhhh! Save me Courage! Oh my! It's the boogie man!

Eustace laughs hysterically and rolls on the floor.

Muriel: Eustace! That was very cheeky! Don't let me ever catch you

scaring me to death again!

Eustace: You looked like a frightened baboon!

Muriel: I know your a baboon Eustace, it runs in your genetics.

Muriel walks into the kitchen to start making corn casserole and chicken noodle soup. Muriel looks through her big blue recipe book for corn casserole. Muriel opens the pantry cabinet and finds a giant gopher attempting to gnaw at her face. Muriel screams and hits it with the recipe book. Muriel scrambles

through drawers trying to find a lock. Panicking she tosses utensils all over the floor. She finds a lock and locks the gopher in the cabinet. Muriel slumps over leaning against the fridge gasping for air. Eustace calmly walks into the kitchen, staring at the atrocious mess pondering what caused the destruction.

Eustace: " Muriel whatever happened here I don't care! Clean it up!" "Finish my lunch I'm starving!"

Eustace slams the door and it falls off the hinges.

An hour later everyone is at the table eating lunch. Courage passes

the corn casserole to Muriel and smiles.

Muriel: "Oh Courage you look so clean! What a cute dear ya are!"

Eustace: "Stop complementing and start passing the food already!"

Muriel: "Wait your turn, you know the order of passing food!"

Eustace: "Yeah what's the point of it!"

Muriel naively throws a spoonful of potatoes at Eustace's face

and chuckles.

Muriel: Well I'm just about full now, want to go see an old movie

Courage?

Courage: Hurray! I love old flicks!

Muriel and Courage get into Eustace's truck and

drive away to the Nowhere Theater. Eustace gets

up out of his chair with potatoes still smeared on

his face and runs stumbling towards them trying to stop the truck.

Eustace runs out to the road in front of the house.

Eustace: Get out of me' truck! I didn't say you could

drive it you stupid dog!

Muriel and Courage can't hear him since they have driven

far away from the house. Just then a car passes by and runs

Eustace over. The driver slams on the brakes. He yells out...

" Watch where your standing you fool!"

... and drives away.

Eustace: Idiotic young drivers, they'll drive

over us (senior citizens) until we become extinct!

Eustace walks back toward the house stumbling from being

crushed by the car. Eustace finally arrives at the front door

after a difficult staggering to get there. He sits on the steps

waiting for Muriel to return and make dinner, he gets drowsy

and falls asleep in a sitting position.

Muriel and Courage are getting into the truck and are reminiscing about

the three hour long movie they have seen. Courage eats the last handful

of popcorn and throws the bag out of the window. Muriel starts up the

truck and talks about the movie...

Muriel: I never knew kangaroos invented the credit card, I

always though it was Lucille Ball.

Courage rolls his eyes and shakes his head to Muriel's

stupidity. He laughs and thinks up a stupid answer.

Courage: Well, I guess that's why everyone loves Lucy.

Muriel: Eustace would of loved that movie he used to

love to watch old monochrome kangaroo flicks.

A police siren approaches behind them and signals Muriel

to pull the truck over.

Courage: What did we do now!?

Policeman: Miss Bagge will you please step

out of the car.

Muriel: What's wrong officer?

Policeman: You seem to have thrown

this popcorn bag out the window.

Muriel: Oh what a lovely bag!

Policeman: I know, why would you

want to litter such a lovely bag?

Muriel: But I don't even remember

throwing it out...I think.

Policeman: Well in that case I'll just

use it as a hat.

The policeman places the popcorn bag on his head,

enters his police car and drives away singing .

Muriel: "Isn't that lovely, he has such a vivid imagination!"

Courage: "Well that's the last time I'll throw my popcorn

bag out the window!"

Muriel and Courage continue on down the highway

for about seven miles before they reach their residence.

Its dark when they arrive and Courage pulls a flashlight

out of his pocket. Muriel and Courage get out of the truck

and start walking toward the house.

Muriel: "Its so dark! I can't see! Can you be a dear and hand me

your flashlight Courage."

Courage hands the flashlight to Muriel and she shines it on Eustace fast

asleep on the porch steps. Muriel kicks Eustace and wakes him up.

Muriel: Eustace! What are you doing out here! Its ten bellow zero! If

your going to sleep outside at least wear a coat!

Eustace: There's no law saying where I have to sleep! Let me be!

Eustace falls back to sleep. Courage drags Eustace in the house, while

Muriel opens the door. Courage lays Eustace on his red chair. Muriel

turns on the lights and three repulsive red eyed gophers stare at

the three of them ready to feast licking their lips anxiously.

Paul : "I want the plump one! She'll satisfy my stomach for at least five days!"

Muriel: "Your not going to lay your palms on me!"

Claire: " I want the little doggie, he looks so sweet... and appetizing!

Courage: (howls out) Whoooooooo!
